What I originally meant does align more with skillsets. A healthy community has people who fill all the roles a community needs. Hosting, cooking, debating, organizing, leading, etc. An ideal community ALSO has people who fill roles the community MEMBERS need (helping fix your roof, providing childcare, medical consultation for simple things, etc)
We have people who like to blog and program. Not super helpful if you want someone to help plan/ set up your garden.
Things COULD be done to increase diversity along these lines I suppose, but they probably shouldn’t. It trades off against other values that are held in too high regard here. My recommendation is to get your “healthy community” needs met elsewhere.
I agree that rationality doesn’t belong to the rationality community. The five-minute yoda timer meant I wasn’t super-clear that I think the last sentence is an erroneous belief.
